Bimar-e-ishq Ranj-o-mehan Se Nikal Gaya — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
The one sick with love finally escaped from sorrow and hardship, and the poor soul, hiding his face, slipped away even from the shroud.
Explanation
This couplet speaks of someone sick with love. His suffering was so deep that even death couldn't hold him. The one who was ill with love finally escaped all his sorrows and hardships. But here's the poignant twist: the poor soul slipped away even from his own shroud, hiding his face as he went. It paints a picture of a lover so broken by pain that he left the world quietly, almost ashamed, unable to face anyone. There's a gentle sadness here, and also a strange relief, as if death itself became the only release from a love that gave nothing but endless grief.
